Topic: RE: First Sandwich since September '04
I have been eating sandwiches for about thee months now. I normally go for the reduced calorie bread as it goes down easier but today I had a toasted cheese and tomatoe sandwich for lunch which was to die for. Peanut butter and jelly never tasted so good. It is amazing the simple things I now enjoy so much more.
Topic: Being in the hosp...
k so i was in the hospital for the last 4 days bc i had a Ulcer around the stoma... the pain that i had in my tummy wasnt a hernia... and although it wasnt my fault that i was there or the fault of WLS i learned something... i really neeed to explain first.... i am 9 months out and i have been askin myself since i was 6 months out ...AHHHH HAVE I STRECHED MY POUCH???? and you know what i havent... the bariatric doc put me on a stage 2 diet... which my meal consisted of
-- 4oz milk
strained soup
decafe tea or coffee
SF jello
-- 8oz protein shake
and a hot plate that had either 1oz tuna or cottage cheese
that all i had and i had to split that into my meal and my snack in btwn.... Now lookin at the tray the first time i laughed bc i was used to eatin real meals... So in other words that was my whole meal prior to goin into the hosp.... But i found out that i would split it all up and i was really full to be honest... so i came to the conclusion that i had been over eating... Since i am home i am stickin to the meal plan 6 meals a day and no snacks and i will tell ya i WAS SOOOO USED TO THOSE SNACKS... the first 2 days about killed me... but i soon found out that hey this hosp thing isnt bad it really took me back to reality.... on how to eat... now i am not sayin to go to the hosp and be admited...
but if you are thinkin this cut out all snacks and go back and you will see that ur otay.... that all that snackin durin the day is headhunger... yeah i could had done without the blown veins or them givvin me shots every 4 hrs but man it was like they taught me without sayin U CANT HAVE THAT... and we all know that we hate that. welp off to pack for my flight to NC

WOW!!! I am afraid of sandwiches. In fact I was just telling my friend that is what I missed the most. What I wouldn't give for a tuna melt. I'm a very sad person!!!! LOL That sounds wonderful!!!! Yummy! Also... congrats on the 155 - I can't wait till I'm there!

HA HA! I'm really not interested in either of them. Just thought it was cool! I REALLY thought it was cool running into the guy from high school *****cognized me instantly. Especially since he was hot in high school (still is too!). Tonight I went to Friday's for soup (I can't chew with braces killing me this week) and a few guys were making eyes. I was a little uncomfortable. It is hard getting used to being in this skin (literally) these days! Thanks Shannon for the "Sexy Mama" comment...

Topic: First Sandwich since September '04
Hi Everyone~~
Had to share the fact that TODAY I ATE MY VERY FIRST SANDWICH SINCE WLS! It was tuna fish on seedless rye and it tasted wonderful! I took my time but managed to eat the whole thing. I avoid eating bread at all costs but today I seemed to crave a tuna sandwich. I am going away on Friday to PA so at least I know I can pack a sandwich to eat on the road rather than stopping and picking something up.
Hugs
